The Lord has heard my voice
1
I have loved, because the Lord will hear the voice of my prayer.
2
Because he hath inclined his ear unto me: and in my days I will call upon him.
3
The sorrows of death have encompassed me: and the perils of hell have found me. I met with trouble and sorrow:
4
And I called upon the name of the Lord. O Lord, deliver my soul.
5
The Lord is merciful and just, and our God sheweth mercy.
6
The Lord is the keeper of little ones: I was little and he delivered me.
7
Turn, O my soul, into thy rest: for the Lord hath been bountiful to thee.
8
For he hath delivered my soul from death: my eyes from tears, my feet from falling.
9
I will please the Lord in the land of the living.
10
I have believed, therefore have I spoken; but I have been humbled exceedingly.
11
I said in my excess: Every man is a liar.
12
What shall I render to the Lord, for all the things he hath rendered unto me?
13
I will take the chalice of salvation; and I will call upon the name of the Lord.
14
I will pay my vows to the Lord before all his people:
15
Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.
16
O Lord, for I am thy servant: I am thy servant, and the son of thy handmaid. Thou hast broken my bonds:
17
I will sacrifice to thee the sacrifice of praise, and I will call upon the name of the Lord.
18
I will pay my vows to the Lord in the sight of all his people:
19
In the courts of the house of the Lord, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem.
